I have tested the Tour Bite Soft on a few Prestige Mid frames. The Tour Bite Soft color is slightly lighter than regular Tour Bite. It plays very soft somewhat similar to Weisscannon Mosquito Bite, but clearly more bite. It's a bit too soft for me. Unlike other soft poly strings, Tour Bite Soft doesn't have that springy/plastic feel. I get a good sense of where the ball is going on hard hitting. Even though it's very comfortable on hard hitting, I still like crisper feel of Tour Bite 19.

Thanks! I was wondering how you liked the TB 19. I'll probably get a few sets and try them out. TW doesn't carry them for some reason so I'll have to look elsewhere

Thanks for your brief info. I google it and it is available in Thailand for 450 bath. I would like to try it when it comes out in the US.

Local store carries them in reels now, Solinco has them all ready to ship but I have no date on when they are coming out to everyone. TB Soft 17G is my go to string now...10x better than the original TB in all categories

I Tried the TB soft couple of months ago and it is by far the best sting ever for me!! Yes it is much softer VS the original TB, not as crisp but very comfortable. If you have litle issue with your arm that string is a lifesaver. I just tried the RPM this week to compare and there are no comparison in my opinion. TB soft all the way. Better control, not mushy after 1 hour, no plastic feel, alot of power. Its gonna be a big winner. My ball was always little short with the normal Tourbite, now with the soft it is couple of feet deeper. I got a reel of 17 soft. If someone wanna try just send me a email. Of course this is my personal opinion about the string and it always depend of your style, racquet, tension etc. Some persons will love it and some won't!!

Can you send me a set? Since you don't have an e-mail link, just click on my user id and send me an e-mail and I will send you my address. I also have some strings available you might want to try.

I just noticed that the regular Tour Bite 17g is actually 1.20mm. If that's the case with the softy version, then I may be required to try some after all!

I can confirm that it is 1.20mm. I got two sets in the mail the other day. I liked the 19g a lot thought it only lasted a couple of hours before I busted a main. I'll be lacing the soft version soon. Should be a good experience.

True. But I think the markets are different. 19g is a pretty small selection of players that would use it. I think TW would be more motivated to get the soft in as soon as possible since there has been much more interest in it from what I've seen

I got two playtest sets from Solinco and used them both throughout the last few weeks. Tension remaining constant, obviously it was softer than my normal set up of Tour Bite 17 mains and Gosen OG Crosses. The response from the string bed was slightly mushier than the solid, crisp feel of regular Tour Bite. I've had problems in the past with my elbow, and I haven't had any elbow fatigue with the new Tour Bite Soft. I felt that playability was almost the same after getting used to the new soft strings. I think the biggest difference for me will just be playability duration. I found a hybrid job of tour bite 17 losing it's feel and pop in under about 8 hours. So far I've felt better playability for a longer duration from the Tour Bite Soft.

I'm making the switch from Tour Bite 17 to Tour Bite Soft 17. Just ordered 3 reels for myself and teammates.

It is a softer version of tb for sure and naturally more powerful. I didn't play any match play with it but it seems to have good spin and control. I was not a huge fan of original TB just due to the stiffer feeling it had,and this fixes that even though I strung it @ 55/53 in an apd. I will add more later but for now I can say it's worth the money to give it a try.
